[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopmedic:
Ok, now I'm going into my third day with this phone, and I'm really struggling to find a way that it has made me happy. I mean, yeah, I like the OS and all, but Sprint still hasn't gotten back to me on whether they're going to send me a free Airave (I spend half the time in my home roaming). I had to reset the device yesterday to get it to connect to Marketplace - even though my account has never said anything but US (last time I left the country was in the Navy 21 years ago) - and even though I could connect to marketplace on Zune software, my phone wouldn't connect to it. Now I've got that working, by resetting the phone.

Now I can't get the phone unlocked. My developer account has been approved, identity verified, and the next step in my process is unlock my phone. I have tried all the tricks I've found so far: start phone, unlock the lock screen, turned off a bunch of services on my PC (like SQL, IIS, and more), reset my phone again, touch marketplace on the phone while connected so it says "connected" on the screen... Between all this and the lousy reception I get at home, I'm ready to just chuck this thing back at Sprint and say, "Thanks, but no thanks." The one thing keeping me from doing that is that Verizon is going to get the Trophy, and I want a phone with a keyboard. I've had keyboards on all my WinMo phones, and don't plan to stop now. I just wish this phone was available on VZW. I'm going to stick it out as long as I can, but iff I don't have an improved experience by day 28, Sprint gets it back... </rant>

Ok... Have I missed any other steps in getting this phone to connect to the Developer Phone Registration tool?

Someone just told me an another thread that you have to be verfied through GeoTrust and to do that you must first create and submit an app that you have developed.

After you submit the app, supposedly GeoTrust will contact you via email and have you verify some personal information.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thealanshow:
Make a fake app. That's all you have to do. Make one, then submit it. This will generate a claim number with GeoTrust. Trust me, I had to do this myself...

My account has already cleared GeoTrust, and the next step is to unlock my phone. I'm not a student, but it wouldn't matter - I can't get that far. The reg tool doesn't even detect my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EponasKitty:
If you're getting the dreaded "Check that the Zune software is running blah blah blah" message, this one is a PITA to deal with. From what I've seen poking around on the interwebs, it's hitting a good number of people. It happened to me too.

I have 2 systems that are identical hardware wise, and running 64 bit OSes.

I have 1 machine running a 32 bit OS (it's a much older system).

I was finally able to unlock the phone without any issues at all on the 32 bit system (after swapping out my phone and nearly a week of struggling with it) the very first time I tried.

I'm loving the phone, especially with it being unlocked, but it was a fight until I tried it on that last machine.

Poke Microsoft about it. The more they hear about it and the more information they get about it the faster they'll be able to fix it (that assumes the problem is even on their end).

I've heard using a USB hub (or if you're already using one then NOT using it) has helped some people. *shrug*
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopmedic:
Thanks for all the suggestions - I appreciate them. I have yet to get my phone to get past the check zune... blah blah blah error, with the exception of one time. Here's what I did...

I reset my phone, got past the intro, added my live account, hooked it to the computer, let it sync with Zune (I had deleted the phone's proflie), opened the reg tool, and it found the phone. I entered my login info, and got the dreaded 0x64 error having to do with time on the phone.

Several posts I found had to do with people getting past this by using a different internet connection and finding success. Well, I have a rather odd internet connection going on. I live right behind my church, just beyond wireless range from the pastor's router. So here's what I have:

Scientific Atlanta DSL modem/router combo - pastor's connection

Buffalo high powered router running DD-WRT sitting on the platform (closest part of the building to my house), repeating the pastor's signal.

Buffalo high powered router running DD-WRT sitting in my computer room, repeating wireless to my house, and serving as wired router to the server and the HTPC.

Pastor's is 192.168.1.1, the one on the platform is 192.168.2.1, and the one in my house is 192.168.3.1, so they are all separate networks, each using the one upstream of it as a gateway.

So, given my success connecting to the phone, I walked over to church, phone still connected to the computer, connected to the pastor's router, and by this point in time, I can no longer connect to the phone.

I suspect that there is some update that Sprint is pushing that causes this problem, so I repeated the process several times, each time deleting the Zune profile, resetting the phone, going through enough of the startup to get to the settings, and putting it in airplane mode, then connecting in the specified order, allowing the new profile to be created, and still failing to connect to the phone from the reg tool.

Over on the App Hub forums, there are several of us with this problem, and a Microsoft team member said that they believe that it is something specific about the Sprint Arrive, and they are looking into it.

My main gripe about this whole thing is that since Sprint is a latecomer to the game, all the posts I'm finding about this are like six months old. Many people have overcome this problem, so you'd think that Microsoft would have figured out the problem by now, and fixed it.

I hope to get this figured out soon, as I am presently unemployed, and spent my $99 to join the App Hub, hoping to make a bit of money there until I get a job. I'm working on something, but until my phone is unlocked, I can't put my confidence in testing solely with the emulator.

Thanks for the tips guys. I do appreciate it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thealanshow:
I've heard really good things about the HTC arrive, I hope it works out for you. Who knows, it could be something NoDo related (because to the best of my knowledge those phones come with NoDo stocked on). I kinda hope it is, it would take the sting out of the fact that so many of us can't our hands on that update! haha ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopmedic:
Yes, it does come with NoDo. It's interesting, takes a bit of getting used to, but it seems to work well. I love the phone. It feels more solid than my TP2. The only thing is that I wish the screen tilt wasn't spring-loaded. I got used to not using it most of the time on my TP2, so it's taking some getting used to on here.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopmedic:
Oh, frustration of all frustrations! I just grabbed my wife's phone and tried it for kicks. It took me all of 15 seconds to unlock her Sprint Arrive. So I know the problem isn't my computer. WHY WON'T MY PHONE WORK?????

(oh, and if it makes any difference, she's installed WAY more apps than I have)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
did you try going to msdn?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopmedic:
My MSDN subscription has expired, but I have posted on App Hub forums. MS thinks it is something specific to the Sprint Arrive, but who knows?

I would like to be able to stream the video and/or audio from the International House of Prayer in Kansas City prayer room.

I cannot post links but if you search IHOP-KC and then click on the Prayer Room at the top of the page it will take you to what I would like to see / hear. There are also links to stream using Windows Media and IPHONE/IPAD.

They have developed an IPAD/IPHONE app for it but not one for Android as of yet.

Is there a way I can play this with an app or anything?

I have tried several apps that susposed to allow you to play streaming audio but the ones I have tried do not work.

Thanks for any help.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stack253:
The best way, so far, is to use m.yourmuze.fm. If you have an account with them there are several links on their site to the IHOP-KC Global Prayer Room. The only downside is that it streams through the video player and you wont be able to multi-task. Hope this helps.

[Wildfire General] maaz_obaid:
hi all...

i m looking forward to buy a new android phone. i have 3 options.

1. HTC Desire

2. HTC HD2

3. Samsung Galaxy S I9000

can u help me choose please? which one u think is better and why?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
desire/hd2, i prefer the desire though, hd2 has a lot of stuff going on around in dev, flash like crazy haha (im not a flashaholic), but then again it is fun to try out quad-boot os on your phone, id just stick with android though :D

Galaxy s = iphone knock off plus crap build quality and lag.
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
Eh? I thought Galaxy S with CM7 was pwnage.
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
im talking about in general. Desire ftw!
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
Nah... Desire is old... IMO if you want a Desire you might as well get a Nexus One. But I'm a geek :D

edit: Then again, here I am with a Wildfire so I shouldn't talk. :p
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Op didnt give any other NEW choices did he, if he did id get a dual core phone or desire s (perfect screen size for me) 4inch+ = too big
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
Oooooh you were sticking to the OP's choices. lol :p
[Wildfire General] Aca902:
hd2 provides you with a bigger screen but with less color compare to desire... hd2 has also a newer processor, but his running wm... I would take hd2 and flash it to run android... :D
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
Galaxy s may be the best on paper but its laggy. If you want to mod it go for the hd2. If you want an official gingerbread update go 4 the desire
[Wildfire General] maaz_obaid:
lol.... yeah i limited the choice to these 3 phones, because cellphones are are really expensive here in Pakistan. :(

i sold my wildfire for 20K, and HD2 will cost me 27k, Desire and galaxy round about 30k. (my budget wont allow me to go higher)
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Desire. Friend got one, and, its pretty amazing. Seems to literally get hot though.

(Although, after comparing his stock ROM, and mine with CM7 and ADW Launcher EX, he feels my phone is far smoother and faster than his. hint hint. :p)
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
Yeah I know someone who has a Desire and feels rooted/overclocked/CM7 wildfire is smoother
[Wildfire General] pmb6177:
Samsung is officially going gingerbread on sgs ,I have an sgs but it's bricked apart from that I'd say go for the galaxy put a good jacket on it you'll never think of how it feels again + trust me you will thank yourself once it's "pimped",max it out you'll see.......
[Wildfire General] oktnxbai:
Buy either the wildfire s or galaxy s2.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] busterdan:
Hi all, I've got a problem on my HTC HD2 (running NexusHD2-Gingerbread), however this doesn't seem to be a rom related problem as I flashed with a different rom (based on the Desire) and have the same issue.

Basically it seems the system wide media library (so not an app issue) is using the Artist Album tag rather than the album tag in applications such as Winamp, Power Amp, and the stock player. As a result when I select albums in these I get a long list of single track listings for each album for any compilation albums that I have on my SD card.... this is driving me insane because I cant then easily play a whole compilation album.

I have been using Android builds on my HD2 for months now and never had this problem before, it's only stated happening with the last two but different builds I have used.

Any idea's please?

Thanks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beedee2:
Hi,

on Gingerbread/CM7, is there a way to put more apps to the /system partition? I am always low on space for apps, even though i have moved almost all my apps to sd using the A2SD function. Currently, only market and rommanager are on /system, i would like to move some more gapps to /system if possiblr.

PS. DT apps2sd is no option for me since it keeps on crashing my nexus one.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
Use Root Explorer from the market and move the .APK's to /system/app. Other alternative is to use the premium version of Titanium Backup and use the option to "integrate update into ROM."
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i just finally switched to yesterday's CM7 nightly, and with moving all my apps to the SD card with just the standard (but improved via gingerbread) a2sd method, i now have 130MB free space with 81 apps installed. i wonder if the new release puts some things on system partition automatically that i dont know about.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beedee2:
Thanks, I think the 130MB is your free space on the sd-card? Isn't 130MB about the total space available for apps?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beedee2:
Thanks, Root explorer does the trick! Isn't Titanium's "integrate update into ROM" only available for apps that are already in the system dir?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
Sorry, yes. But this a handy feature because even though you may have a app stored within \system\app, if you install a market update, the update will go to \data\app. You would then need to manually move the update to \system\app and replace the old .apk file. If you don't, then the app is stored in 2 places and is an inefficient use of memory.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
No that is my internal free space. I just moved all apps to the card with the standard froyo method.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
So I can just manually move apps with root explorer to free up space? I'll give it a shot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Sorry I have 110 free, not 130. I just checked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Dumb question, once I move the app It no longer opens cause it has moved. How exactly do I handle this? I tried the market, vending, for example.

Never mind, change permissions then reboot solved it. BTW strangely before you reboot the free space actually goes in the opposite direction showing less free space after the move, till a reboot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
Glad it worked for you Roger. Personally, I have never had to change the permissions, but just needed to make sure I renamed the update exactly the same as was in system, reboot and enjoy.:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Seems to be working well. I'm still confused how I have so much free space. It says 114mb free right now with 81 apps installed. Granted they are just regular sized apps, nothing huge.

[General Questions and Answers] skrunchamunch:
Greetings all,

I have been researching the use of USB Host mode on the HTC Desire and was wondering whether anyone has managed to get VBUS enabled on the HTC Desire or Nexus One? The two phones use exactly the same mainboard although there is a chip near the USB connector on the N1 that isn't present on the Desire board.

I looked at Andrew de Quincey's code, but I think it's for a different phone (Hero?). I've tried the obvious vreg interface to enable boost and usb, but got nothing. I also tried looking at the rpc calls for the integrated PMIC option but didn't get that working either.

I can't tell which PMIC is responsible for generating VBUS (I kind of assume it's the Qualcomm PM7540 and not the TI) or whether the PMIC it is even connected to VBUS so it would be nice to know if anyone succeeded in enabling VBUS on the USB port.

For information, I've applied Sven's patches to the bravo-2.6.32-gd96f2c0 kernel source released by HTC. This has the advantage of better power consumption compared to CM and can be used with the stock HTC ROM without the funny horizontal lines as others have noted.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
How often does the Social Networking app update? I can't find any options to change refresh time. Also there's no manual refresh option...
[Milestone 2 General] inheme:
I actually uninstalled this app using titanium backup
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
That didn't answer my question. I did some self testing and came up with about 2 minutes as the time refresh rate. The app is actually quite useful as you can get all your messages in the Universal Inbox.
[Milestone 2 General] inheme:
It is useful if u pay for unlimited 3G connection, not my case. So i prefer to download each social network app I use and manually refresh what I want.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Serious? You might not like it, but there are actually people who like Blur. You like it or not, just accept and respect that please.

About the refreshing: I've been looking for it too, but that option isn't anywhere to be found. I've also found the interval for syncing social networking isn't 2 minutes for me... Longer I guess.

Manual syncing is possible, but you have to disable syncing completely for a few seconds and re-enable it. Syncing will start after this.
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
Not sure if it's of use, but there is the option to only update the Social Networking apps over wifi which can be found in the Data Manager section of Settings.

Cheers,

Steve
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
I;m not worried about sync or data cos my plan has about 250MB a month...I am planning to upgrade to 1GB a month...

just annoyed about refresh issue that's all.
[Milestone 2 General] M@jkel:
250MB... that's quite small ammount. With my plan I have 2GB a month, and I'm using about 700MB out of this
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Yeah. I dont download music or videos on my phone. I use my PC for that.
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
the reason yours is updating so often is perhaps cuz u have quite a number of friends on ur social networks. what u can do is u can filter which updates you'd like to see from which friends. that could significantly reduce how often your blur updates itself.

another option would be to do what steve suggested....theres an option in settings where it syncs ur social networking over wifi only. that should work

the best option however is to get urself an unlimited data package. 500MB-1GB data allowance would be sufficient, but if ur heavy on skype and other data intensive apps or sights a 2GB package would be recommended.
